"You were in my dream last night" a newcomer to my morning duty, coffee clutch corner announced. I have been teaching her all year, but this was this first time that she had hung out to talk.
"Really? That's funny. You guys wind up in my dreams all the time." I responded.
"You lived in this hut in my backyard and you would call me on your cell phone when it was time for Spanish," she responded.
"you remember the fortune tellers hut in the Harry Potter movies?" she asked all of us.
"It was like that... you had all kinds of cool nick knacks in there and pet birds were flying around in the hut....".
Oliver presented himself before me, almost touching his belly to mine.
"You're back!" I exclaimed.
"YES!" he responded and smiled and spun around.
"Last night, you were flying a kite, you were at the park across from my house...."
"I love kites"
"You kept smiling at me and waving and asking me if I wanted to fly the kite....."
I folded the red piece of paper with the rudimentary drawing of a penis on it and put it in my bag. "Act right, Jerry, act right...." I warned.
"or else I will laminate this, cut it in the shape of a heart and give it to your mother."
Oliver walked past me again, giddy.
I high fived him.
He grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go.
I drove in the broad daylight to school, in a bit of a haze. I grabbed my stuff and got out of the car, walking around the front.
Clouds of smoke rose from under the hood. It looked like it might catch on fire.
I glanced at it and walked toward the school doorway.
I would just deal with that later.
